Clark: GOP agenda at play in New Hampshire debate

Presidential candidate Wesley Clark on Friday complained that one of the moderators in Thursday night's debate was carrying out a Republican agenda by questioning his Democratic credentials.

Brit Hume of Fox News Channel, who worked as both moderator and questioner during the two-hour debate with the seven candidates, pressed Clark about when he had first realized he was a Democrat.

Clark told reporters Friday, "I looked at who was asking the questions, and I think that was part of the Republican agenda in the debate."

Democrats have complained that Fox News Channel shows a Republican bias.

1. Why the shitheads ever agreed....

to have fox host the debate is beyond me. Is fox the only network (and I use that term lightly) that was willing to televise the debate?

2. Go, General!

If anyone can bring down FOX News Freak(or at least send them to casualty), it'll be Clark! They'll be intimidated by him because he has nothing to gain from them!

4. Ron Brownstein, on Inside Politics

said the questions given to Clark looked like Republican Opposition Points. He obviously thought the questions were unfair, & due to FOX News.

Why are the Republicans trying to destroy Wes Clark? It was so obvious last night that they are trying to take him out. And what about post debate coverage on FOX? That was a set up & they had their talking points.

Please don't fall for the Republicans disinformation campaign.
